The first season of the Dom Radio Cinema Laboratory is closing with the St Petersburg premiere of The Kros by Gleb Sereda.
The film tells a story of two teenagers who skate together and socialise day by day.
Another ramble unwittingly turns into a journey far beyond the city in search of new experiences.
“Go I Know Not Whither and Fetch I Know Not What” with underground electronica by Johns Kingdom crew.
An honourable mention from the Beat Film Festival jury “for the atmospheric visual and sound production and the ability to capture youth”.

The first images that surface in memory are American indie filmmakers’ forays into skate parks: Larry Clark’s What Are You, Rockers?, Jonah Hill’s Mid90s, and Gus Van Sant’s Paranoid Park.
